Best Crab Cake Sandwiches in Baltimore

What Makes It Special: The lines tell the story. Never have I been to G&M - and I've been there a lot - and not had to endure a wait at the take-out counter or for a table in the (recently renovated) dining room. Even stranger: I've never once minded the wait. The crab cake sandwich is that good. Huge chunks of meat and just enough tasty filler make this sandwich one of the most fulfilling meals in Baltimore. It comes with lettuce and tomato, but toppings, in my opinion, are not necessary. Don't mess with perfection.

What Makes It Special: Whether they know it or not, Faidley's is what people are imagining when they think of an authentic Baltimore crab cake sandwich. Since 1886 the company has been churning out some of the sweetest, tastiest cakes in town, from a corner of Lexington Market that oozes ambiance. With a bit more filler than some of its competitors, Faidley opts for flavor over shere girth, and it succeeds. It's a stop not to be missed on Baltimore's crab cake circuit.

What Makes It Special: A new entry in the crab cake sandwich wars is Todd Conner's creation. The small restaurant and bar in Fells Point serves a unique interpretation of the classic. Served drizzled with red pepper aioli, the sandwich bursts with flavor. It's not necessarily traditionally Baltimore in its preparation, but it is delicious.
